Date Updated

Updated Version

Why Updated

December 2017

The guidance and example forms in Chapter 14 Money Laundering have been extensively updated and virtually all sections and forms amended.

The update reflects the changes brought in by the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 which came into force on 26 June 2017. The manual has also been updated to reflect changes in draft guidance to those regulations issued by the Consultative Committee of Accounting Bodies (CCAB) and the Joint Money Laundering Steering Group (JMLSG).

The update to this chapter was delayed as we were waiting for the issue of the final Treasury approved version of the CCAB guidance. However, as there is still no indication of when this will be issued we have issued an updated chapter based on the draft version. We will of course update the chapter again once the final version is issued.

Updated to reflect changes in FRS 102 which may apply to December 2017 year ends

As we continue to wait for the consultation on the draft CCAB anti-money laundering guidance for the accountancy sector to be completed, including for tax (and insolvency) purposes, and for risk assessments from our supervisory bodies to be published in order to complete the update to your compliance manual, we have a prepared a checklist to guide you through the key changes needed to your firm’s policies and procedures under the new Regulations.

The checklist highlights a number of areas where changes are needed and provides guidance on action that can be taken.

Once the consultation on the CCAB guidance has been completed it will be submitted to HM Treasury for approval. An update to your manual will follow the approval of this guidance, which we expect to be later this year. We will continue to keep you up to date with developments as they happen.
